Yes they were and they listen to the masses in that! First thing I looked for and noticed.

Saw the same. I loved it and thought the grilles were much less imposing in person. I was a fan of Isle of Man Green and what looked like a saddle brown interior combo.
The M4 will be at Monticello. Sign me up, I thought it looked great.

Sweet! Was it a competition car? What did the wheels look like? Were they two-tone or all black? This sounds like the spec I would go with (IOMG over a tan/brown).

Did it have the bucket seats or the standard ones?

It was a Comp, all black wheels (think F90ish style), carbon fiber package that includes front fins and real valence. Carbon roof, CCBs as standard, RWD. Automatic only. Standard car will be available in manual, confirmed by the product guy on hand. Unknown final power specs or AWD availability.

They only give you 5 minutes max in the tent, and there was so much to take in it was hard to go over the entire car. Here's what's I remember. I ended up going in twice. Grille - no issue for me, all black on M3. No chrome surround. Body color instead. Wheels - typical BMW, comp all black Fender flares - yes M mirrors - yes 18s in front, 19s in back on comp models. Cf seat backs are an option Cf front and rear aero additions are a package. Red start button, M tri-color seat belts. Seats similar in shape to F80. M3 badges in headrest as before. Shares rear with the G20, but much wider and more aggressive. Without the CF package, you get aero treatments in shadow line, gloss black. No spoiler oddly enough. Laser headlights. No power dome on hood if I remember correctly. Don't quote me on that. Stick available on base. Not on comp. shifter similar to X3 M. RWD available on both models. Electronic parking brake. Isle of Man Green is the launch color for the M3. I think that covers it. Let me know if you guys have any specific questions.

Thanks for digging through your memory! Anything we can learn is a great start! The key here is that forum members who are going to see the car at future dates read the existing commentary and work to add on to what we know by asking clarifying questions based on forum feedback. Obviously not at the expense of enjoying your preview!

Amazing that you got to see it! Can you comment on how similar it was to the various renders floating around here?
Eg: https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1742469

My thoughts on the G80 after seeing it at a BMW UDE
I was able to peak the G80 behind a closed curtain yesterday. Thoughts on the exterior and interior below...

Thought he said 18s and 19s. Could be wrong here.
